I enjoyed Veidt's arms up in the air "I did it!" with the same intensity and angle as the comic after the satellite arrived.

feedmyleg posted:How am I supposed to remember little details like who a character is when I'm looking at my phone for half the episode? This is the same problem I had with HBO’s Westworld and Game of Thrones. I get it, you’re good at making shows. Just maybe make it a little easier to understand? In Death Stranding Hideo Kojima goes so far as to name all the characters after their roles in the story. I think maybe HBO could learn from this. Like, in GoT Tyrian Lannister would’ve been much easier to remember who he is if his name was little fingers instead of that other guy, just a thought.

Of all the characters whose names I could see being difficult to remember, Tyrion isn't one of them if only because his name is said incessantly from the very first episode. Or you can just call him The Imp.

Nail Rat posted:I've thought about this more than I should over the years. Are there slide out bunks or anything? A kitchenette? Even if Archie moves at the speed of a jet, which it doesn't really seem to, it's like a 20 hour flight. There's definitely a coffee machine. History remains silent on whether there is a cigarette lighter. E: If you want a bit more Rorschach in your life, albeit at one remove, DC Black Label are doing a new mini-series for The Question, the Charlton character on whom Rorschach is based. I've read issue 1 (which is out tomorrow) and it's worth a look. Jedit fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Nov 19, 2019 |

the escape goat posted:side note, did anyone else notice the painting of the squid's eye in the 7K headquarters? It wasn't (just) a squid eye. Same symbol has been popping up repeatedly, including in the letter between Keene's dad and the sheriff. Seems to predate the squid. That said, Veidt could have put the symbol in the squid.

I will say this about Alan Moore, some of his choices in music really SUCK. That John Cale song where we get the headline from Issue 12 (which Veidt repeats in his message to Redford) is one of the worst goddamned songs I've ever heard.

I loved how in The Good Place S3 while on earth, Michael uses his skills as an architect to help someone design an amazing car dealership... and forgets to put in any bathrooms because he’s a supernatural entity and forgot those were a thing.

A couple thoughts about looking glass’ mask. He survived (or at least attributes it to) the psychic blast because he was surrounded by mirrors. In the first episode when he’s introduced he lifts the face part of his mask up to talk to Judd and Judd tells him to “put his face back on”, I noted this as odd because, if he was of a similar character to Roschrach then he wouldn’t need reminding of the importance of his “face”. But for him he doesn’t care about the face covering aspect so much as the skull protection.

I'm guessing Dr. Manhattan is keeping a close eye on matters of humanity, albeit from a distance, and paying particular close attention to Veidt. Veidt probably planned something nefarious, and Dr. Manhattan obliged him with his own personal utopia in a pocket dimension on Europa. I also am guessing that his pocket dimension is timeless, and is serving as his own personal hell for the remainder of time, echoing the joke stated by Laurie in episode 3.

I don't see why he would bother with all that. He can see all time, if Veidt was a problem he'd just pop him. I'd prefer a "God is real, but he abandoned us because we're boring" approach. Would be risky bringing him in as a deus ex machina, the series is doing fine keeping him as a distant/historical figure. I will say that the TV shot of Manhattan making manors on Mars leans towards you being correct. Chadzok fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Nov 20, 2019 |

I just got to this moment on my reread today. This show has managed to find some uncharted adaptation/sequel territory and it continues to impress me. In a world of just regurgitating the same stories over and over again, theyve managed to carve out this incredibly unique corner of that trend. Is there anything else like it that doesnt really require knowledge of the original/first work to enjoy the core story but simultaneously pays off and deep dives into "sequel" territory on this level? Theres a lot of "oh I recognize that!" in this show, but then theres these moments where they take a magnifying glass to such subtle throw away moments in the book and manage to expand on it in cool and narratively useful ways. I god drat love it.

Careless Whisper all over this episode was a bit on the nose because we've seen that he sees Angela as someone who he can trust and probably a friend and she sees him in the same way. This he betrays her, and well, Careless Whisper.

Nieuw Amsterdam posted:Also, on Earth-HBO the Republicans are apparently AOK with a very liberal Democratic administration spending billions a year on defenses against fictional space squids when they are fully aware that said squids are part of the Veidt Power Movement and no such risk exists? Their Mitch McConnell must be hosed up. Are you kidding? They own the anti-squid defense companies. This is just how the national security grift works now that the cold war is over and the war on terror never happened.

Guys, the dogs are fine. It's not an incinerator, it's just a pneumatic tube system like at the pharmacy drive-thru and on the other end is a shelter where the doggies get chew toys and snuggles and then get adopted out to loving homes. That's why the button she pushed was green, not red. Also, if we don't get more Silver Squirter next ep I'm gonna riot.

Wasn't it just a dogwasher? I think it was a dog washer. Like a dishwasher. Except dogs. They are just cleaning the little pooch up so it can be adopted by someone who wants a single dog who is almost exactly but not completely like a different dog someone else owns. Right? Right? That dog is OK, right?

All the employees in the store front area of that dog cloning place were standing next to an exact double, which implies they’re either hiring exclusively identical twins, OR cloning their customer service representatives and using Veidt’s fast grow microwave to get them to maturity. Which would also imply a larger dispose-all for the full grown clones who didn’t look quite right.

That place where wade screened the DVD isn't just a theater, it's a loving broadcast center. There's way too much equipment there for it just to be for viewing. They are probably going to do a pirate broadcast. And they're probably going to bring back Viedt to interview live on screen or something. Maybe even record going through the portal and bringing him back as part of the broadcast
